Then during that one hour watch out cuz you might pass out because your brain will consider that you are resting and need a nap!!!!!

I really love the Magic Eraser for walls!!!

They are great for walls and so much more!!!!!

Dreft didn't have the cleaning power to get those baby stains out. (too many of those scary explosions not contained by the diaper... enough said). Baby laundry joined the rest of the laundry with Tide.

Tide does the best job, but we do not use it in this house (I am the laundry expert). Tide makes all of us but Amy itch. We have not used it for over 15 years. If anyone else with allergies can tell me that this has changed - l would really like to know. When we washed clothes in tide, I felt like someone put itching powder down my shirt!

Amy is hooked on one thing that she makes me use now. That Downy "simple Pleasures" softener. The purple one. She loves the smell.

Don't laugh, but I put them on the conveyer belt the way I want them bagged...

I do too in the regular store I shop at....but the teenagers who are there never get them in the bags that way. Why would i want frozen products with my cleaning products?

 

[goofyforlife]

but a few rides on the Phoenix or Twister sucks them up big time

Speaking of sucking.... i got a dirt devil cordless broom vac today...

Hopefully it will suck...(i mean won't)

See Todd, just helping you stay a good/bad pirate, mate!

our baggers move stuff around by size and odors. they don't want the smelly stuff in with other things. plus I think they try to save bags by overstuffing them - of course I have to carry it all inside.

I like to keep the refrig. stuff and fruits together then sometimes I just unload the other stuff in the morning because often I shop late at night.

I would rather just bag myself and they get annoyed if you help too much. LOL.

 

[MrsMork]

That is cool! Did you get to meet him?

BTW Angie, my boss was in Oregon last week doing a wine tour. He is a big wine snob.

John1

Yes, he was at a local bookstore signing.

John, they have so many variations now. Have you tried the one with no allergens?

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Of course I know the prices. Milk for example....4.17 at HT 2.97-3.10 at WM. I get 2 gallons a week along with their generic cheese crackers for 1.25 for a big box which are nutritionally better than the brand cheese nips. I have limits to how much I will spend on an item. You would probably gasp at my stockpile. I don't shop with a regular list. I scan the sales, gather/order my coupons and then hit the store getting 10-20 of an item if it is at the right price for me. The only things that I buy each week are milk, OJ, and bread (at the bread outlet for .47 a loaf. ) I can go a month or more without going to the store during the holidays/cruise and most of the summer except for those items because I have stockpiled it.

Lisa - that sounds like my house. My neighbors tell me if we ever have a disaster that they have to shelter for a while...they are all coming here.

 

[lbgraves]

I can't believe how many pirates are around tonight! It's been a while since we have seen this many people signed on. It wont be long now!

 

[Jhalkias]

Speaking of grocery stores...our local Fred Meyer (Kroegers) is now encouraging us to check out and bag our own groceries. I refuse, what's in it for me??? I can go to the no frills store and do that, but I get a good break on the prices there. Cannot for the life of me figure out why they think I would do the work myself and pay the higher prices.

We also bag, and carryout your groceries for you. I do not understand why stores will not provide this service. Most of that is done for us by High School kids - except during the day, and since most people are working in the daytimes, we are not as busy then.

You all need to move here and shop at our stores so we can compete better!

Elaine, I like to shop late at night too, the only thing I miss is the deli department at night. Other then that and empty store is cool with me, lol.

John1

The snobs have gotten to really like Oregon wines. There are over 100 wineries within a 10 mile radius of us. Many, many more if you go a bit further out. We have done wine tours a couple of times on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Plan on that again this year.

YUP! We are the hurricane house.

 

[goofyforlife]

Not sure about Halloween.... I have to work that day...

TOT is 6-8 that night. DH and i usually sit home and give out candy (well he eats it)

DD usually goes around our neighborhood with friends now that she's older.

 

[MrsMork]

Don't laugh, but I put them on the conveyer belt the way I want them bagged...

I do too!!

1998...the year DS was born!
